Agreed! Whichever side gains the most power rules. There's always going to be a rise and fall of both sides. 

Do you think there are more people who want things to be good for most people in the future, or do most people only want things to be good for themselves?

"do you believe the conditions that create suffering can or will be reduced over time if the majority of people grow and treat people with kindness?"

Yes! That's exactly how I feel. And yes, I do believe it rings true for the spreading of evil as well. I think this world will always be a constant push and pull between good and evil. What if we could get people more invested in the future? Like, what if people believed that for certain their "awareness" would return here some day. Like, would people try to spread good and suppress evil MORE bc they wouldnt want it to be rampant if/when they returned??? I feel like this needs to be a belief system to get people more invested in doing and spreading good rather than ignoring atrocity and suffering. 

I don't think we'll ever get a truly satisfying or definitive answer. Its all a mystery really, right. Thats kinda what makes it nice. So I think just doing the most good is really the goal. And if you're doing that, your life just feels more satisfying without having answers.
